The first steps towards the Malmsbury model have now been taken: a site visit and photo session, all structures have been 3D printed, the baseboard built, the track manufactured, and final positioning mock-ups are under way.
There has been a lack of recent progress on Penzance, with me hesitating at the large number of buildings that have to be painted. So, to recharge my batteries I have started what I hope should be a fairly quick and simple 2-3 month side project. Serious planning began on May 1st, so let's see how well that time estimate holds up.
Malmsbury is a minor station about 100km north of Melbourne, with some local fame from having the largest stone viaduct in Australia. My usual 6' x 2' layout size is big enough to include both the station and the viaduct, with no compression. The layout will be in 1:480 scale, set in the 1960s at the end of steam, and consist of a simple double track oval - the station sidings and loops will be dummies. This will finally give me somewhere to run my VR trains, and an excuse to build more of them! |
